Built-In & Bar Cabinet Refinishing

in Dallas–Fort Worth.

Libraries, wet bars, butler's pantries, laundry rooms, and mudrooms.

Most homes have as much cabinetry outside the kitchen as in it: built-in bookcases and libraries, wet bars and butler's pantries, laundry rooms and mudroom lockers. It's usually the same age and finish as the kitchen, and it can be refinished the same way, as part of one project or on its own.

Libraries and bookcases

Built-in bookcases and paneled studies were often stained to match the kitchen of their era. A deep, saturated color gives a library warmth without the heaviness of an old stain; a light one makes a dark study feel larger. Open shelving takes longer to prepare and spray than doors, and the inside faces get the same finish, because they're what you see most.

Bars and butler's pantries

A wet bar or butler's pantry is the natural place for a second color, something deeper or more playful than the kitchen, tied together with the same hardware. It gets the same cabinet-grade coating as a kitchen, built for spills and daily handling.

Laundry rooms and mudrooms

The hardest-working cabinetry in the house. Lockers, benches, and laundry cabinets take scuffs, bags, and wet shoes, so they get a durable finish in a color that forgives daily wear. A soft green or blue-gray is often the most forgiving.
